Patent number: 11689811Abstract: An imaging system for obtaining images having enhanced features is described. The imaging system includes an optical system that receives and direct light from a field of view to two or more image planes. The image planes are optically coupled and configured to detect at least a portion of the received light and generate image data corresponding to the field of view. The system can include a processor that receives the image data generated by each plane and combines the data to form a combined image. The combined image can have a higher resolution than any image that can be obtained from the individual image sensors and the image plane may be curved to reduce the cost of optics. The processor can detect objects (e.g., moving objects) contained in images obtained from one image plane and configure the other image planes to obtain more detailed images of the detected objects.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Epilog Imaging Systems, Inc.Inventor: Michael Mojaver

Patent number: 10404910Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides an imaging system, which includes an optical system for collecting light from a field of view and directing it to an image plane. One or more image detecting elements are disposed on a movable platform coupled to the image plane. The image detecting elements detect the collected light and generate image data corresponding to the field of view. A processor in communication with the image detecting elements receives the image data. The processor is configured to effect movement of the platform to move the one or more image detecting elements within the image plane to gather the image data.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Epilog Imaging SystemsInventor: Michael Mojaver

Patent number: 10348963Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides an imaging system including an optical system adapted to receive light from a field of view and direct the received light to two image planes. A fixed image detector is optically coupled to one of the image planes to detect at least a portion of the received light and generate image data corresponding to at least a portion of the field of view. A movable (e.g., rotatable) image detector is optically coupled to the other image plane to sample the received light at different locations thereof to generate another set of image data at a higher resolution than the image data obtained by the fixed detector. The system can include a processor for receiving the two sets of image data to generate two images of the field of view. In some implementations, the processor can employ one of the images (typically the image having a lower resolution) to detect one or more objects of interest (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Epilog Imaging System, Inc.Inventor: Michael Mojaver
